to the severity of his MajeAy's indisposition that the Lord Chancellor, whose duty it was to procure his Majesty's signattire, had not been able to effed it, and it would scarcely% be necessary for him..to ob serve, that it would, he unbecoming and improper to affix \the Great Seal . Withoat the authority of that sanction. Perhaps- the House would permit him to make one or two observations upon the state of his Majesty's health, befOre he proceeded to notice the steps. which he thought expedient tOresortto in the present ein,rg•Jrcy. It would ; not he necessary, in deed it would 'not be proper, to increase the anxiety of the House and of the public upon this oc casion, nor would he :proceed to mentien:any, thing respecting the indisposition which they all deplored, if it was not of a nature 'to afford considerable cons°. lation. Sure. he•was, that if any thing could -as suage the feelings of the country-at the presetit mo ment, it eat the congideration that his Majesty's in disposition arose from his atfettinn as a Jaiher,.that it sprung from hiS anxious and unremitting atten tion to a - beloved daughter under her 'pait7iftil and protegled treri ngs . ; tiris, if any thing, must as ' euage their feelings ; this, it any thing, must, in crease their venerati,i). it was conSolaiory to re lied, that a disorder originating in such a 'cause. was of a nature' to,Le easily combated and ietnoved: he had the satistknon alSo to state, that the symptoms Were peculiarly mild, aed that the physicians had ex- . presgzd the Most confident hopes' of a peedy recd-. very. He bad thought it his duty. to state thus much with respect to the situation of his Majesty's health, both as it atforded an explanation of the conduct of hi Majesty's servants, and was calculated to soothe those feelings of anxiety and apprehension under which they must all lave laboured. ,He would now advert to what, in his opinion, the Hou t se ought to du uncizr the circumstances. Upon_ this pracl , cal‘part of the question the Speaker, on taking the chair, had pointed out what appeared . to Inn) (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) the best mode of proceeding ; he thought that theyought not now to ceed w business but pdjoitro to a future day. Whether or not they mere competent to proceed at present, they should consider the circumstances under which they were called together. They were called together not, upon the understanding that they should proceed to business, but under the most authoritative - declaration that'it wi , s his Majesty's wish the House sheuld not meet, nod that no busi ness should be undertaken at this particular moment. The only part, of the slit - sled that appeared to him .to admit of .doebt was that part whiCh embraced the eriod of adjournment. Upon this he would hum bly Stiitest that they should adjourn to that' day fortnight. He mentioned that period as allowing sufficient time to procure that degree of decent at tendance which would enable them to decide with propriety .upon the important question, whether it would be then proper to adjourn to a further period _ or. not. As far as Parliamentary opinion went upon this point they had in Parliamentary eriaalmenta the following authorities :—ln the first place, a power had been given .to his Majesty to call to gether a Parliament, in any extraordinary emer gency, in the space of fourteen . days ; in ano ther instance, in ,modern times, the only one that could be considered almost analagous to the pre sent case, an adjournment for fifteen days was proposed, ,and almost nnanimonsly acceded to.- I,lpon these , grounds, he would move for an adjournment. to this day fortnight. It appeared to him, that the only point to be considered now, was something incich nt to this proceeding, some thing calculated to further the area of the adjourn . ment, 2nd procure,. what* it must be the wish Of all. to accomplish, a full attendance upon that day.— For this purpose, it'was his intention, after the first rtiotion was carried, to move for a Call of the Hoti,e, and also for the 'addressing of circular letters to the different Knights; Citizens, and Burgesses, being Members of Parliament, (0 attend upon that occasion,. Having stated his view of the case, he should now propose his first. mo9on, namely, " That the House,.'at its rising, should adjourn to that day fortnight:" Mr. SHERIDAN rose, and spoke briefly as fol lows According as I do to every sentiment ex .pressed with so mild) propriety by the Right Hon. Gentleman, and feeling highly gratified, in corn =On, I am sure; with every individual in the House, by the happy expeaation held forth to us of his Ma jesty's speedy recovery, I rise, Mr.'Spealier, merely 'to hAve ttit lionourol seconding the motion in your hand." The motions we're then carried unanimously. Adjourned t 6 this day fortnight. IMPERIAL DECREE. AINZRAL ORDTHANCE. FOR THE ORGANIZATION OF TIIE DF.PARTATENTS OF HOLLAND.

" HIS ,MAJESTY has passed rather • a better night, and is much the same to-day as yesterday. " HENRY HALFORD. ." W. HEBERDEN. " M. BAILLta." Our Readers' will see, by a reference to our Par liamentary. Report, that we were perfealy accurate in our statement of the course that would be adopt ed on the meeting of the two Houses of-Parliament., An adjournment for a fortnight was unanitnonsly agreed to; and, before the expiration of that pe-. riOd, we sincerely hope, and fervently pray, that his MAJESTY'S indisposition may be totally removed.. Our hopes upon this subjea are strengthened by the consolatory language used yesterday by flieCtiANcr.- LOB of the EXCHEQUER ; he said, that the symptoms of his Majesty's malady were peculiarly mild, and that the Physicians entertained the most Sanguine hopes of his speedy recovery. This information was.rece,ived with the utmost pleasure by the House, and will of course diffuse satisfaaion in every.part of the Ern , pire. If, however, these hopes should unfortu nately not be realized, contrary to the very favour able appearances at present, the proper steps have been taken .to insure a full attendance of Members at the expiration of the period' to which the ad journment has taken place. Almost every fresh arrival from the Continent furnishei us with some new instance of BUONA PARTE'S implacable malignity against tliii country, and of his total disregard of every princip:e of jug tice. It is stated in a Dutch paper, shat ' some Eng lish goods were seized at Nieuport, conce.iled be tween the planks 9f a vessel. BuosAparriE, on hearing of the circumstance, and being probably rather enraged at the recent intelligence from Por tugal, issued the) following very extravagant decree : " PARIS, OCT. •Ig,-Arr. 1. AU Merchaudizes of whatever description, the produce of the English manufadories, which are at present-in 'France; or in any country (without exception) where French troops are stationed, shall be publicly burnt.
